Gary,

Fantastic build and great detail on the small wheel attachment parts. What type of coating did you use on the small wheel attachment supports?

Regards,

Paul,
Thank you for the compliment! The parts are just sand blasted. I make parts for the mailing business and used to sand blast arms that were used on the machine.
My neighbor did these for me, but I used to just have a table top sand blasting cabinet.
I used to use just play sand that any big box store sells in 40 pound bags. Any blast media will work.( Sand, Glass bead, silicon carbide, whatever is cheap) It gives a nice finish but the parts do have a slight texture.
Some guy recently told me that baking soda is also used. I would think in gives a smoother finish.
